...it?s not always clear how fair Moore plays. His romanticized take on Canada?s single-payer health-care system is a few data points shy of a controlled study, and his decision to shoot part of the movie in Cuba made him the subject of a federal investigation, which may be precisely the p.r. gold he was after. Still, the film will surely get people talking, which is just what Moore wants - and just what he did in a wide-ranging conversation with TIME...
...these days, and be able to head straight from the red-eye to the morning's first appointment with barely a pause. In an age of deep-vein thrombosis and security scares, to be worried about mere jet lag even seems a little frivolous. But this isn't being fair on our systems: your mind may be jumping from the third coffee you've gulped since landing, but fatigue, dehydration and insomnia are the body's reminders of how testing being strapped into a metal tube, and hurled across the other side of planet at hundreds of kilometers an hour...

On the other hand, in a large Core class, it would be more reasonable to enforce a regular grade distribution.To try to create some administrative rule that accommodates all of the shades of gray between these two extremes and yet still fairly measures “excellence” is impossible.

...this point our assumption expert proceeds to discuss anything which strikes his fancy at the moment. If he can sneak the first assumption past the grader, then the rest is clear sailing. If he fails, he still gets a fair amount of credit for his irrelevant but fact-filled discussion of scientific progress in the 18th century. And it is amazing what some graders will swallow in the name of intellectual freedom...
